China Convergence Fund A Sub-Fund of Value Partners Intelligent Funds NAV per unit : Class A USD - USD150.10 Fund size : USD299.0 million 31 March 2017 • China Convergence Fund (The “Fund”) primarily invests in A and B shares listed on the stock exchanges of Shanghai and Shenzhen as well as in H shares listed in Hong Kong. • The Fund invests in China and therefore is subject to emerging market risks. Generally, investments in emerging markets are more volatile than investments in developed markets due to additional risks relating to political, social, economic and regulatory uncertainty. • The Fund is also subject to concentration risk due to its concentration in China-related companies. Adverse development in such region may affect the value of the underlying securities in which the Fund invests. • The Fund may directly invest in A Shares and other eligible securities through the qualified foreign institutional investors (“QFII”) quota. Investors will be subject to certain risks including repatriation risk, custodial risk, regulatory risk. In addition, the QFII policy and rules are subject to change. All these may adversely impact the Fund. • The Fund may also invest in derivatives which can involve material risks, e.g. counterparty default risk, insolvency or liquidity risk, and may expose the Fund to significant losses. • You should not make investment decision on the basis of this material alone. Please read the explanatory memorandum for details and risk factors.
